  In the shadows of London, a quiet shopkeeper is living a dangerous double life.
  
  Adolf Verloc appears ordinary—a husband, a small business owner, a man who keeps to himself. But behind the dusty windows of his shop lies a web of espionage, anarchists, and secret orders from foreign powers. Pressured to prove his usefulness, Verloc becomes entangled in a reckless plot that spirals far beyond his control.
  
  As the scheme unfolds, the consequences ripple through the lives closest to him—especially his wife, Winnie, whose quiet loyalty is tested in ways she never imagined. What begins as political intrigue quickly becomes a devastating story of betrayal, manipulation, and the human cost of extremism.
  Joseph Conrad was a renowned novelist known for his psychologically complex stories and explorations of moral conflict. Writing in English as his third language, Conrad produced influential works such as Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, and The Secret Agent. Published in 1907, The Secret Agent is widely regarded as one of the earliest and most powerful novels about political extremism and modern terrorism.

  Daisy bakes a little murder into every pie she creates, and she and her dog, Zoe, deliver them to the town’s worst cads. Now, Daisy’s entered a televised, elimination-style competition and has a shot at $100k in prize money—but she still has a murder pie to deliver between filming. In a completely unexpected turn of events, she discovers that her intended victim is one of the competition judges, and he turns up dead before the pie even arrives. Now, Daisy has to solve the murder—even if it means working a bit of magic—before someone calls foul play and exposes her murderous secret. For anyone who’s ever fantasized about the world of competitive baking à la the Great British Bake Off—or has ever dreamed of getting back at that guy who wronged them years ago— Popp's culinary cozy series is as alluring as a perfectly baked pie. This edgy yet utterly charming novel takes the idea of “a dessert to die for” to a whole new level.
